Jjdancer replied to the thread (Compatibility) Is there a problem restoring a pve8 VM backup (PBS) to a pve9?.Shouldn't be. I was able to restore a PVE 7 VM to PVE 8 last year. Just did a PVE 8 VM to PVE 9 last week. I upgrade PVE first and do PBS last.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Hardware question: Hardware Raid for OS (Proxmox ve)?.True. BOSS-S1 is SATA only. I have it mirrored booting Proxmox using XFS.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Hardware advice (or "questionable Proxmox performance on nice box").Been migrating Dell servers at work to Proxmox from VMware. While it's true the PERC RAID controller can be switched to HBA-mode, it uses the megaraid_sas driver which has cause issues in the past. I decided to replace the PERC with a Dell...

Jjdancer replied to the thread 10G NIC HCL for Proxmox 9.0.3.In production at work, I use the following: Intel X550 Intel X540 Intel i350 without issues with latest firmware. At home, I use a Mellanox ConnectX-3 SFP+ 10GbE fiber NIC without issues also with latest firmware.

Jjdancer replied to the thread ZFS on rotative drives super bad performance.I run ZFS on standalone servers and Ceph on clustered servers. Usually, on Dell servers, the write cache on hard drives is disabled because it is assumed they will be used on a BBU RAID controller. Since, ZFS & Ceph don't play nice with RAID...

Jjdancer replied to the thread [Proxmox Cluster with Ceph Full-Mesh Network Design] Sanity Check & Advice for 3-node cluster with separate 10GbE/25GbE networks.Nope. All network is traffic going over single network cable per node as physically described (1 -> 2, 3; 2 -> 1, 3; 3 -> 1,2) at https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server#Introduction So, yeah, you can say that is a...

Jjdancer replied to the thread [Proxmox Cluster with Ceph Full-Mesh Network Design] Sanity Check & Advice for 3-node cluster with separate 10GbE/25GbE networks.I run a 3-node Proxmox Ceph cluster using a full-mesh broadcast network per https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Full_Mesh_Network_for_Ceph_Server#Broadcast_Setup Each node is directly connected to each other without a switch. Yes, since it's broadcast...

Jjdancer replied to the thread Disk cache none...safe or not safe?.It was quite reproduceable in my production environment with Ceph migrations done every other week. Again, YMMV. All VMs are Linux with qemu-guest-agent installed. Was only through trial-and-error, I found the cache policies that work for ZFS &...

Jjdancer replied to the thread Disk cache none...safe or not safe?.Through trial-and-error, I use the following disk cache policies in production: For stand-alone servers using ZFS, writeback. For Ceph servers, none. Using anything else other than none/no cache with Ceph cause VM migration corruption issues.

Jjdancer replied to the thread Is Dell PERC H710P supported??.Better off flashing it to IT-Mode per https://fohdeesha.com/docs/perc.html Do NOT skip any steps and take your time. Make sure you record the SAS address. Don't forget to flash a BIOS and/or ROM on it if you want to boot from the drives. Been...
